Wake Up Call
You Are You
Accept everything about yourself--I mean everything. You are you and that is the beginning and the end--no apologies, no regrets.
Wake Up Call
Play Like You Play
It's the way you play that makes it . . . Play like you play. Play like you think, and then you got it, if you're going to get it. And whatever you get, that's you, so that's your story.

Wake Up Call
Greet the Bold Youth Within
Come on now all you young men, all over the world. … You have not an hour to lose. … Twenty to twenty-five! These are the years! Don’t be content with things as they are. ‘The earth is yours and the fulness thereof.’ Enter upon your inheritance, accept your responsibilities. … Don’t take No for an answer. Never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her. She was made to be wooed and won by youth.

On Beauty
Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress.
Wake Up Call
Aim High
You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can give.
Wake Up Call
Take the Plunge!
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
Very True.
